“Axson offers a very nurturing atmosphere and encourages children to work together. The level of parental involvement is very high and everyone seems truly focused on doing what is best for the development of the whole child, not just academically.”

“Very pleased with how our dedicated Principal takes charge and makes sure this school has the most to offer our children. As I talk and network with different mother's in Jax, I learn that J Allen Axson is very involved with it's own activities and does a good job on staying consistent with old traditions in comparison to other elementary public schools, which of course can not be done without parent participation and F.A.M.E.. I like to tell people that our children are growing up in an innocent environment here at J Allen Axson like the way it should be. Great community and it couldn't be done without a good principal and wonderful parents. I am so grateful to have my daughter in such a admirable school.”

“I love this school. It is a public Montessori. I have three children here and wouldn't think of sending them anywhere else, including a private school. The principle is wonderful and so are the teachers- very respectful of both students and parents.”

“This school is terrific. I have been as happy here as I was with my son at Discovery (private). My son is gifted and I am glad the teacher he has (Mrs. Snell) was able to recognize and intervene even going as far as to purchase special supplies for him. They also have a gifted program (one day a week per grade) that he will be going into and I am grateful they have that support. The principal and staff are all great!!! This is the best deal around for sure!!!”

“My daughter is in PK4 and this is her second year at Axson. They experiences she has received are more plentiful than she would receive at any private school. I appreciate the care that children show to one another and the individualized academic rigoir each child receives. I attribute this to the incredible teaching staff, leadership, and support personnel. My daughter is so lucky to be here!”

“Axson is such a wonderful school. My son is on his third year attending Axson, he is now a Kindergartener. His teacher is so sincere and loving, she cares about each of her students as if they were her own children. He doesn't like summer vacation and would attend school every day if allowed. They have taught him wonderful life skills and academic skills. I recommend Axson to everyone I come in contact with that have children.”

“Axson is one of the best schools in the county. The Montessori curriculum looks at each student and differentiates the instruction to the student. All of the teachers have the Montessori training which helps them to integrate the hands-on Montessori method and the state standards. The administrative staff knows each student on a personal basis.,”

“The academic programs at Axson are great! They let the children be very independent. My children have gone there for 2 years. I have a second grader in the gifted program and a preschooler. I had a 5th grader graduate last year and she moved on the James Weldon Johnson middle school. This is such an amazing school. The preeschool program is great! It is very hands on. The parents are very involved. We have an amazing PTA always planning carnivals and readings and concerts for the kids. We also have say no to drugs and stop bullying programs. Andhere are also music, art, and PE couses available. There is also violin, choir, boy and girl scouting, and extended day programs available.”

“This school has been a blessing for our daughter. It opens up the chance for all the children to expereince the Montessori environment. There is also an abundance of parent involvement in each aspect of the school. The principal is very responsive to any concerns you may have. She truly cares for the success and well being of each child and her staff seem to appreciate her leadership style. Extended day is a fun filled organized program that offers extra learning opportunities for science, art, and games.”

“Axson utilizes the Montessori method of teaching and each class consists of at least two grade levels. The teachers are very relaxed with the kids and emphasis is put on the arts and the environment. Kids are allowed to learn while still allowing creative outlets. I gave a lower principal score as the 'regular' principal took an annual leave for the 2005/2006 school year. The principal is more of a hands on leader and the kids love her which speaks a lot.”
